'''Note that the use of these templates is not required.'''

Use of these templates is manual, authors may copy-and-paste the desired template into their text, and erase fields they do not need. Remember the <nowiki>{{double curly braces}}</nowiki>, and a vertical bar between fields.

''See full list of citation templates at [[Wikipedia:Citation templates]].''

Introductory ("Beginner" and "Tutorial") pages such as the CITING SOURCES tab in the [[Wikipedia:Tutorial]] page do not necessarily cover templates. Another template which covers all these uses may be found at [[Template:Citation|Citation]]. For more information see [[Wikipedia:Citing sources]].

اساااااااااامه

If you are using the inline reference citation style in your article (using <nowiki><ref></nowiki> tags to create footnotes), then these templates would go inside the <nowiki><ref></nowiki> tags as follows:

= Citing a journal =

<pre><ref>{{cite book|author=...}}</ref></pre>
